Blog | Dan Gillmor | Just in case you were still wondering… Diamond “Lavish” Reynolds changed our perception of media last week with her shocking and heartbreaking real-time web video of the last minutes of Philando Castile’s life. The couple, with her daughter riding in the back seat of their sedan, had been pulled over by local police in a Minneapolis suburb, and Reynolds had the astonishing presence of mind to send the aftermath of Castile’s shooting by a police officer — which included her arrest by cops who didn’t even try to save his life — to the world via Facebook’s “Live” video platform. Countless articles, analyses, commentaries, and other posts have chronicled a media shift in those moments. Is this a revolutionary, or evolutionary, change in media creation, distribution, and access? Reynolds’ video prompted me to revisit something I wrote more than a decade ago, in my book, We the Media, which discussed the then-nascent idea of radically democratized media and one of its important offshoots, citizen journalism.

Students work to promote, further agriculture - Iowa State Daily: News - Students work to promote, further agriculture: News College agriculture students from around the state have been given the duty to be the eyes, ears and voices of agriculture. Four ISU students have been named members of the first Iowa Corn Student Advisory Team. The group consists of student representatives from agriculture programs at colleges around the state. The members are responsible for identifying areas of concern that the public has regarding agriculture. "As team members, we have been tasked with listening around campus and in our communities to public opinion on agricultural issues and determine how we can influence them or bring truths to the matter," said Charlie White, senior in agricultural business. White said there are fallacies in today's media that shed a negative light on the agricultural industry. The team will attend meetings with its sponsors, at which members will provide a student's perspective about issues the organizations are discussing. One way the team will promote agriculture is through monetary support.

Best practice sessions have provided many interesting examples of ongoing work in public and academic libraries, as well as commercial provision.
